Announcing New Hosts at the 2019 Golden Foodie Awards

When the Golden Foodie Awards were conceptualized, we knew that they would resonate with the local culinary community, but we never imagined the response we’ve had over the years! In an effort to keep things fresh, we are thrilled to announce our new hosts for the 2019 Golden Foodie Awards — Aarti Sequeira and Neil Saavedra!

Aarti Sequeira, TV host and cookbook author, jokes that her love of food began in the womb (she was a 10-pound baby)! Sequeira began a second career after winning season six of Food Network Star with her trademark combination of infectious cackle and unique food signature: American favorites with an Indian soul.

Neil Saavedra, a native Angeleno, is best known as host of the popular Fork Report radio show heard Saturdays from 2-5pm on KFI AM 640. He is a three-time Golden Foodie Award winner for Best Food Radio Show and Food Influencer. He’s an avid home cook and a self-admitted “food geek,” and he loves Hallmark Christmas movies.

With these charismatic and energetic personalities on board to guide this year’s Golden Foodie Awards, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome the 2019 Awards Season!

Now in its eighth year, the Golden Foodies is an INCREDIBLE event that honors the Best Chefs, Libations and Cuisine of chef driven and independent restaurants. This is the "People's Choice Food Awards" you decide who is the BEST.
